TIL that guy on YouTube who said "don't use a fully modular PSU in a small case" was actually right

I was building a SFF PC in a Fractal Terra last month. Some random commenter on a build video told me a fully modular PSU would waste space with the extra cable connectors. I ignored him because I wanted the clean cable look. Spent 2 hours trying to jam that Corsair SF750 into place with the extra plugs sticking out. Ended up swapping to a semi-modular unit and everything fit perfectly. Has anyone else had a random stranger's advice save them from a headache?

That random commenter saved you hours. Fully modular in small cases is a trap.

Wait, have you seen that Gamers Nexus breakdown on cable management in SFF cases? It was wild how much space those modular cables actually eat up when you're cramming everything into a tight spot.
